• A marital Should-You-Bring-It-Up-O-Meter [graphic].
• Why we left the gold standard in the first place [audio] (earlier).
• The top reasons for Facebook un-friending?
• U.S. home prices, sung as an opera [audio].
• Why students who sit at the front of the class do better.
• Why poor people buy TV's and why others' choices seem irrational.
• President Theodore Roosevelt on limiting "degenerates to reproduce their kind".
• The way you shape your face affects how you respond and makes you more creative.
